The developers of Google Chrome are always working on something. A lot of the time, new features are discovered by digging through the Chromium project. Chromium is the open-sourced browser that Chrome is based on. When a new feature appears in Chromium there’s a good chance it will be brought to Chrome. The latest discovery is something called “morning reads.”

There are references to “zine” (a common abbreviation of “magazine”) and “morning reads.” The service gathers content from websites the user would most likely be interested in, and then displays the content in the new tab page. It’s the same idea as reading a newspaper in the morning. But since Chrome knows your browsing habits, the content should be more personalized to the user.

Current “New Tab Page”

If Google does roll out this “morning reads” feature we can’t help but think back to Google Reader. This would have been a great use of the RSS feeds. Would you use a “morning reads” page in Chrome? Do you even care about the new tab page? What if the feature was brought to the Android browser?

Whether it’s your car or your smartphone, chances are if you love something, you want to baby it. If you want to keep your phone’s display feeling like new (or rejuvenate an old one), this glass wax is the perfect solution.

Smartphones these days are only getting more slippery, but if you’ve finally had enough — you need to see these ultra thin sandstone cases for the Google Pixel (and a variety of other smartphones). At $8, you may want to pick up two.

For Samsung’s failed Galaxy Note 7, its downfall could have been that it was simply too thin. A group of engineers at Instrumental examined the Galaxy Note 7 to figure out why, exactly, they kept exploding.

A new phone is the perfect gift for a techie who needs a powerful companion on the go. You’ll be pleased to learn the term “powerful” doesn’t have to be synonymous with a price tag of $600 or more these days.
